You get a proper pint of beer in the north with a proper head on. Not your flat watery beer with no head like down south.

And proper fish and chips up North with proper mushy peas as well.

Northern soul > southern comfort

I live in the Midlands, I'll probably end up in South sooner, I prefer the north but limited by job opportunities. I grew up in the south.

Although ideally I'd live in Cornwall!

Chip Butty, Sausage & Gravy. But the gravy stops when you reach the Scottish Borders for some reason. Usually met with "don't do gravy".

The midlands is better than both the North and the South

I'm not saying all of Scotland, but I've been to 2 in the Borders that haven't done gravy.

Why would I want a proper pint of beer when in London I can get a pint of overly-hopped America-style IPA made by bearded hipsters under a railway arch in Hackney for £6.50?

I can get a pint of real ale with a real creamy head brewed by real men in an old steel works for less than £3.50 a pint in the deep north. You can keep your hipster nonsense.

Been to one in Jedburgh that didn't. They looked at me like I'd just crapped on their chips.

Sounds very homoerotic.
